Who we are

At Josie Jo Events, our focus is on creating a wedding day that feels cohesive, well-paced, and true to you—without unnecessary stress or distraction.

Our all-inclusive approach ensures a planning experience that feels personal, creative, and centered entirely around your vision. We begin every wedding by understanding what matters most to you. From there, we bring structure to the process, guide decisions thoughtfully, and ensure every detail comes together in a way that feels natural rather than forced.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or following trends for the sake of them. We believe that your wedding should feel like you — not a copy of someone else’s. That’s why we approach every celebration with curiosity, intention, and heart. You’ll never feel like just another client — you’ll feel understood, supported, and genuinely cared for.

At the end of the process, our couples don’t just walk away with a beautiful wedding — they walk away saying,
“That was exactly how it was supposed to feel.”

Aydin D’Arcy

Founder | Creative Director

Aydin grew up in the event planning world, assisting her mother—an experienced event planner—behind the scenes at large-scale events from a young age. After planning her own wedding, she discovered how deeply she loved weddings in particular, how meaningful the creative process was for her, and how powerful it is to have someone you trust managing the logistics so you can stay fully present and enjoy the experience. That realization inspired her to build a planning company rooted in intention, organization, and genuine care.

She is deeply invested in creating weddings that feel authentic to each couple. Rather than following trends or a one-size-fits-all formula, Aydin focuses on protecting her clients’ vision and ensuring every element comes together seamlessly.

When she’s not planning weddings, Aydin can usually be found spending time with her husband, Trevor, and their beloved goldendoodle, Josie—the heart behind the brand and the most loyal “office assistant.”

MeiMei Le

Lead Planner

MeiMei discovered her love for event planning while organizing her own wedding in 2021. She realized the big day felt effortless thanks to meticulous planning, the perfect team, and the ability to trust the process — and now she’s passionate about helping every couple experience that same sense of ease and joy in the months leading up to and on their wedding day. She brings a reassuring, organized, and detail-oriented approach to every event. When she’s not planning weddings, MeiMei can be found exploring new restaurants in Philadelphia, traveling, practicing and teaching yoga, hiking, playing word games, or enjoying quiet nights at home.
